Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs, by Wallace Stegner

8.99 USD

Nominated for a National Book Critics Circle award, Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs
gathers together Wallace Stegner’s most important and memorable
writings on the American West: its landscapes, diverse history, and
shifting identity; its beauty, fragility, and power. With subjects
ranging from the writer’s own “migrant childhood” to the need to protect
what remains of the great western wilderness (which Stegner dubs “the
geography of hope”) to poignant profiles of western writers such as John
Steinbeck and Norman Maclean, this collection is a riveting testament
to the power of place. At the same time it communicates vividly the
sensibility and range of this most gifted of American writers,
historians, and environmentalists.
